Mango Coconut Milk Pudding

Many bloggers would be aware of this awesome group of bloggers, coordinated by Srivalli, that runs the Blogging Marathon month after month. I have always been wanting to join them, but was not sure how much I could keep up with them, since I cook more on my whims rather than by following a theme. Ever since the beginning of the year, I have been looking to get back my blogging mojo and nothing better than doing a trial to see how I fare in this lovely event!

The Blogging Marathon is now in its edition #74 this month. That’s quite a long time, isn’t it? 🙂 From the themes for the month, I decided to choose “Are you Pudding me?” for these three days. Pudding – something that I love, isn’t it? 🙂 And I didn’t have much difficulty finalizing what I should be sharing over the next three days. 😉 Let’s go on with the first one…

This recipe was supposed to be a layered dessert, called “Woon Mamuang”, which is a famous Thai dessert that looks like a layered jelly, with mango at the bottom and coconut milk at the top. But it didn’t go the way I had actually planned it to be. As I rested the mango dessert and poured the coconut milk layer on top, it pushed itself though the mango layer and made a marble effect. Initially I was very disappointed that it didn’t turn out to be the way I wanted it to look like. Still, I went ahead and clicked it, for food photography practice. 😉

After lunch, the dessert was served and Azza, who loves fruity dessert, was like, “Ummi, this is so yummy!” I was a little taken aback at first, but when I had my first spoonful, I agreed to what she had said. The interconnecting sweet and tangy layers literally created a dance in my mouth. I was so glad that my little mishap turned into an amazing dessert. As mentioned in the recipe, I have used string agar agar, which I pulsed in my blender jar till it turned into bite pieces and used it accordingly. Off to the recipe…

So glad you jumped in Rafeeda, I am sure you will enjoy the ride!..those pictures are simply stunning and I am sure the dessert no less..I thought you carefully crafted the design, but then things naturally have a beautiful way of happening right..Good that your lil one liked it!

Summer is around the corner and what a way to say that on my face! LOL Mango, is my fav fruit and so it never gets into any other form. I devour as is right from under its skin. And dont every worry about mishaps such as this as mainly the layer is just for the “good look”! eventually, you scoop both together and eat them together – 🙂 this looks good as is.Famidha recently posted…Watch Sunrise from Yanbu Al Nakheel

Hehe… I was just upset it turned out just the way I was not expecting it to, but it was a good surprise, Alhamdulillah… 🙂 And that’s exactly what we did, mix the layers and have it… hehe… Thanks a lot Fami…
